Love your videos but this one blew me away - we actually lived in this apartment in the 90s. It was our daughters’ first home, they were both born in Fukuoka. The place is unrecognisable from how it looked before, it wasn’t til you showed the balconies that I realised where it was.

[@Daez.]

Thank you for making these videos, I am looking into moving to Japan. Your videos help me make decisions.

[@Sacrypheyes]

we don't use "mansion" in french. closest word would be "maison", but that's how we'd usually call a single family house in general, nothing to do with any type of appartment. i've heard many places in japan will easily keep one month rent (or charge extravagant "repair fees") from the deposit even if you return the apartment with as little damage if any. what's your experience with that?

[@lemon41de]

beautiful place! but yeah, the "gift money" thing is just absolutely ridiculous

[@jyc313]

Yep one of many obsolete aspects of Japan.

[@gurikuri1595]

We don't say "mansion" in French, we say "appartement". This is not luxury by French standards. It's not luxury in Fukuoka either. It's big and renewed but with cheap and ordinary equipment. It's just expensive.

[@RJRussoVids]

Amazing unit! The price is a fraction of what a similar apartment would be in a major US city. That would likely cost $50,000 a month (or more) in New York City.

[@dimmacommunication]

New York city should be compared to Tokyo, not Fukuoka...

[@KenzGX]

I miss Fukuoka, used to live for about 4 years ..

[@xporkrind]

Wow. Love that apartment !!!! My friend pays $4500 for a much smaller older place in California. That's cheap !!!!

[@gd_c4]

Love the video ; Can you do a tour around $2,000 homes please 🙏🏽

[@cber5077]

Nice place but ridiculous price, especially with the 霊剣

[@pierolivierpc]

in french it is “maison”literally home. 🏠

[@supermarioworldofficial]

Mansion does not come from French, but from Latin... All countries with a language derived from Latin have the same word. However, I understand that the USA was influenced by the French.

[@Untilitpases]

Maison ~ home. (Yeah, that generic and in colloquial use, no monetary value/status is ascribed.) "aller a mon/leur/la maison" = going to my/their/the home. People might use apart/apartment to specify "flat", but it's not prerogatory. Maison is also used to convey origin/kinship especially nowadays for products/brands and was (less so today) employed also for people, as one would say in english: "of the house of Tudors".

[@halogenic]

In some apartments, gift money goes towards professional cleaning, new tatami mats, new wall coverings etc. It gives your apartment a facelift after the wear and tear of the previous tenants.

[@perrywinkle5000]

That's the security deposit not the reikin. Reikin is literally just money the owner pockets

[@SaltandDragons]

@@perrywinkle5000 Exactly this.

[@PeterOla-Itan]

I'm french speaking and didn't know mansion was a french word. It's almost never used in day to day life 😅

[@supermarioworldofficial]

because it isn't. Mansion is a word derived from Latin. I don't know where he got this information from.

[@PeterOla-Itan]

@@supermarioworldofficial I checked the dictionary. It is indeed a french word. We just never use it.

[@supermarioworldofficial]

@@PeterOla-Itan Yes, but if check in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian. You will find the same word

[@PeterOla-Itan]

@@supermarioworldofficial and it's ok, the same word can exist in different language of the same origin. For exemple tao, dao or do that you can find in asian languages influenced by the chinese culture.

[@squarecracker]

@@supermarioworldofficial the answer is because french words were used by the upper class, whereas german words were lower class. The german word for house is 'haus' whereas the word for mansion is the french word for house :)

[@Xeyne098]

May as well live in California

[@susantruter7860]

Beautiful but no oven? I know there not really a thing over there but really?

[@gurikuri1595]

It's an appartment, not an Rbnb, you are supposed buy your own furniture and appliances. There are ovens, fridges, etc.

[@annaalbuquerque1583]

Ha, you should see houses where I live. They come with literally nothing, no cabinets, no sink, the kitchen is empty and you have to buy everything. America (and Europe?) is ahead in that.

[@kuochoenikoi-kotei5134]

Was about to comment the same thing. A nice kitchen with no oven feels really incomplete.

[@moonlitgalaxy5940]

there are more valuable things in japanese apartments than ovens. many people opt for microwave ovens

[@inggermanydeutschland3808]

It's for the business apartment which means the company pays.

[@kuochoenikoi-kotei5134]

Still waiting to see the luxury bit. It's big and spacious, but that's about it.

[@empresshonda]

Omggg this is so gorgeous!!

[@MatthewHall]

Nice but very compartmentalized IMHO - but I do understand that is a basic style of Japanese designs. Q: What is the heating: did the refurb install in-floor radiant heating?

[@AnthonyBa1-g1d]

woahh

[@al3220]

By "mansion" did you mean "maison"? Maison is just a house. English speakers can usually tell the difference between the two since the former as an "n" before the "s".

[@jinngapling6349]

That's what he's saying.. the French maison became mansion in English and took on a different meaning. Maison is more like single family houses. French would ordinarily call this appartmente. This isn't luxurious but just spacious.

[@PeterOla-Itan]

@@jinngapling6349 I guess both of you speak french. Mansion is actually a french word but it looks like old french. maybe It evolved in maison later on.

[@ksh7792]

I live in London, believe me 1 bedroom flat is 2000 pounds. this flat in japan is worth it.

[@didipkerabat]

wow, this big space and only that much? So cheap!!

[@sfebon]

Never a fan of penthouses in heavy earthquake areas

[@EE-uj6tw]

Can’t believe they remodelled it,it looks SO dated. Colours and tones from the 80’s

[@CountDankula0]

Over priced
